Notes for Edith Basset CBE
At marriage her name is given on FreeBMD as ‘Edith Basset Basset’ but, while this is on the raw index, it may yet be a clerical error. (See Burke: it is half right.)
No death record on FreeBMD up to 1930. She was at her daughter’s wedding to earl Howe in 1927 and at her husband’s funeral in 1938.
There are 8 Edith Bassett births between 1840 and 1864; I cannot identify which might have been hers. Perhaps the 1901 census would help?
Though the 1881 census has led to Edith’s birth record on FreeBMD.
Burke says they had a 1st daughter Nina Eleonora, b. 18 Jul 1883, d. 17 May 1886.
___________________________________
Burke for the Williams baronetcy (her father’s family) says she got her CBE in 1918.
______________________
This looks like her entry for the 1911 census, though with one or two oddities:
(a) She wrote that she was a visitor, but this was crossed out and ‘Head’ written in.
(b) She gave her address as 15 St Andrew’s Mansions, Dorset St, W but the transcription stops after ‘Man’.
But she did write that she had had 3 children of whom two were alive in 1911, same as her son entered down in Devon.
